The End of Decentralization: One World (Corporate) Government is Here

Robert Bork got borked for a reason. It’s not the way Republicans portray it, of course. You should know that by now. They always lie. Democrats didn’t change the rules by borking Bork. Republicans changed the rules by nominating him.

He was a known outlier, extremist and partisan hack.

Bork had written the book on monopolies. His ideas were somewhat fluid, if not incoherent, but he loved monopolies. He wrote a book extolling monopolies. The consolidation of power in private hands is a consuming goal of Republican policies.

Think about all the things that used to be decentralized and distributed that have succumbed to corporations and conglomerates. They are concentration camps for capital run by thugs compelled to maximize profits for the shareholders.

Any decent-sized city used to have locally owned supermarkets and department stores. Not any more. And consolidation continues apace. Nationals are being destroyed by Amazon. It will never end. And look at Trump. He has to be the ONLY winner.

Republicans only want the BAD stuff distributed. They are great at distributing risk and injury. They are socialists and commies, believers in class warfare, privatizing profits and socializing risk, irresponsibly shedding it onto innocent citizens.

Only the government--OUR government--can protect us from them. That's why they hate it. They will destroy it so rich corporatists can run everything.
